Best Lines - keep it to one or two lines

Every line from “Everybody Knows” by Leonard Cohen.

And everybody knows that you live forever
When you’ve done a line or two.

Give me, Your dirty love
Like some tacky little pamphlet
In your daddy’s bottom drawer

If you got somebody, that you can trust to the very end

You sure got a real good friend

When I’m, when I’m alone with you

If only life were as easy as you

Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

Yea, cause the next line has nothing to do with a tan bucket, lol :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

It’s the little things the little bitty things
like the way that you remind me I’ve been growin soft
It’s the little things the itty bitty things
It’s the little things
That piss me off

If we keep looking backwards
it’ll break our necks
This ain’t no time for regret

How many of us could substitute a vocation in place of physicist and say the same thing? I bet quite a few! Surprised ol’ Albert said this but many things he said have surprised me.

I agree. Ever since I was handed a cornet in the 4th grade, my life has revolved around music in one way or another, all without benefit of having a career in it. I’m one of the few architects I know whose life isn’t consumed with architecture. It’s my vocation, but not my avocation. That would be reserved for music, whether playing (piano, guitar, banjo), listening (live or recorded), reading, talking, or just generally appreciating it.

As the businessmen slowly get stoned,
Yes they’re sharing a drink they call “Loneliness,”
But it’s better than drinking alone.
